You know, it kind of pissed me off when Mitch removed the Beauregard and Lee statues. Wasn't as bothered by Liberty Monument because that was put up as straight "frick you" to Reconstruction.

Same with the Jefferson Davis statue, to a degree. There was a bust of Col Dreaux about 100' away from Jeff Davis. Are Black people aware that he was among the first killed in battle during The Civil War?

But now with this Washington Artillery piece being removed, I kind of hope we have a city full of empty pedestals. frick Andrew Jackson. frick Joan of Arc. frick Leon C Simon. And frick anyone else memorialized in marble or bronze.

The empty pedestals will signify our complete submission to Idiocracy.

Those pedestals won’t be empty long. Those who remove statues want to pick the replacement for the next 100 years.
